Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
courtneyxo 6/7/2012 6:34:00 PM
I have problem skin with regular breakouts and pretty bad scarring so I'm forever searching for full coverage products. This foundation covers all my scarring so so well! It's made my make up routine a lot quicker and easier as I hardly need to apply any concealer at all underneath. Used with my 182 buffer brush it's blends in really well with a flawless even finish. However, I wouldn't say it lasts very long, I find it starts to look a bit cakey around the t-zone area even with a primer. I also think it could have made my skin worse around my chin which is why I've given it 4 lippies. Overall I really love this product!

I love this product! Smells and feels lovely on the face and so nice to use as a spritzer as well as on cotton pads. Face feels really refreshed and moisturised

I brought the dry skin one and absolutely love it! Wasn't expecting too much for the price but it is definitely as good as others I have tried such a decleor. Love the packaging and the smell too, will definitely be repurchasing :)

Toners -Clinique - Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion

I have been using this product for about a months now, along with the face and body bar (which I love!). For the first few seconds it stings quite a bit, which I worried me as I have really sensitive skin and because of this I only use it at night. Although it seems to dry out any spots overnight and seems to have cleared my cheek area up well, I have had non-stop breakouts on my chin area since using this product, something I rarely had before. I also started getting pimples on my forehead which was totally clear before using this. People say that it brings out spots before clearing them so I'm going to continue to use this for a while longer but I don't think I'll be repurchasing

Liquid -Revlon - PhotoReady Makeup

I have very fair, acne prone skin therefore it is rare for me to find a foundation that is both light enough and provides good coverage but this really does! A lot of people complain about the sparkles but I actually really like them. Used with a foundation brush it blends in so well however without it can be quite patchy. It also doesn't make me break out unlike most foundations.

I have really dry skin around the eye area and this remover is great. I seem to always receive free samples so have never actually brought the full size bottle which is even better!

Lipstick -Barry M - 101 Marshmallow

Worst lipstick I've ever brought, tried to use it so many times but its too drying, just doesn't apply nicely atall! Shame as the shades are really nice and the price would be so reasonable. Definitely won't be buying anymore BarryM lipsticks.

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse

I have used this foundation on and off for years. I have acne prone skin and this foundation is really good for high coverage, although if I didn't spots I definitely wouldn't use it otherwise. It's heavy and just generally doesn't feel nice on the skin, but it does last during the day and doesn't seem to cake like a lot of liquids. However, I think it causes even more breakouts. I try to stop myself from using it as much as possible but on lazy days its good for quickly covering my blemishes as I don't need to spend as much time concealing.

Concealers -MAC - Studio Sculpt [DISCONTINUED]
courtneyxo 4/18/2012 3:02:00 PM
I have acne prone skin there for I need a high coverage concealer and so far this is the best I have come across. I'm also really pale and struggle to find a concealer that matches my skin (which is really important), but this does perfectly! It covers well but it can be quite hard to blend and seems to cake under my powder as the day goes on. It's also not suitable for under the eyes as it creases easily. It may seem pricey but it lasts for months even though I use it everyday. Overall I would only recommend this for people who wish to cover blemishes rather than dark circles.

Toners -Garnier - Soft gentle toner

This product is great for sensitive/dry skin! Smells lovely too and is good value for money. Only downside is the packaging, I feel like I waste a lot of the product, perhaps a spray would be better. Continuing to repurchase as this along with the matching cleanser and moisturizer are the only products which seem to have really helped my dry skin, especially through the colder months!
